Cody Simpson dropped a major hint on Wednesday that he was getting ready to retire from his swimming career.

The star athlete, 26, shared a photo to Instagram of the medals he won at the recent Australian Short Course Championships and captioned it with some revealing words.

‘My second and last ever Aussie short course champs. It’s been real,’ he wrote next to the medals. 

He also shared a video of him competing at the Championships in Sydney and commented that he thought he performed well given how worn out he was.

‘Was stoked to be relatively near personal best times while under training fatigue. Thought I’d share video for my American mates who always wonder what the hell I’m doing.’

Cody rose to fame in 2009 as a pop singer and shocked fans a decade later when he announced he was expanding his career to focus on swimming.

In June, Cody and his Olympian girlfriend Emma McKeon recently celebrated their one-year anniversary by buying their first home together. 

The pair went ‘Instagram official’ with their relationship in July last year, three months after they began dating in secret.

Days after going public, the pair found themselves embroiled in a reported ‘love triangle’ with Emma’s ex-boyfriend and fellow Team Australia member Kyle Chalmers.

At the time, it was claimed Kyle had blocked Cody’s entry into the ranks of the Australian Dolphins for the World Championships in Hungary after learning of their relationship.

Kyle had originally made the decision to not travel to Hungary for the competition, but back-flipped after his ex’s relationship with Cody became public.

‘My second and last ever Aussie short course champs. It’s been real,’ he wrote next to the medals 

However, he vehemently denied any suggestion this move was due to a personal vendetta against the former pop star.

Cody later got a ‘one up’ on Kyle when he was named on the ten-man shortlist for the GQ Sportsman of the Year award, while Kyle missed out.

The musician and swimmer has previously said he hopes to turn his Olympic dream into a reality in Paris in 2024.
